This cruise was booked at the last minute based on a great deal. Since I was able to get a flight from ATL on points, it was a very inexpensive week long vacation. No one was able to take the time for the week, so I cruised solo.

My flight arrived early into FLL and I took a cab to the port. I arrived by 10am and was onboard by 11am. The rooms were ready and I was able to drop off my hand carried items and head to the lido deck for lunch. The food was plentiful and diverse. I was able to get something to eat and found a table. Since this was the first day of the cruise, I overlooked that the staff was lacking enthusiasm. I got up to refill my drink and went to explore the ship.

Since I am a smoker, I went to the aft pool deck to see the area. It was set up with comfortable chairs tables and lots of ashtrays. The crew that worked the bar and kept this area clean were great and did a wonderful job throughout the week. Read more
